Explanatory Note:

 Unless set forth below, all previous Items of the Original Schedule 13D are unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 3 to the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following text:

The Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "NFI LLCA") of New Fortress Intermediate LLC ("NFI") provides certain holders of common units ("NFI LLC Units") of NFI and non-economic Class B common shares (the "Class B Shares") of the Issuer with certain rights to cause NFI or the Issuer to acquire all or a portion of the NFI LLC Units and an equal number of Class B Shares (the "Redemption Right") for, at the election at NFI or the Issuer, as applicable, (a) Class A Shares at a redemption ratio of one Class A Share for each NFI LLC Unit and Class B Share redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for any equity split, equity distribution, reclassification or other similar transaction, or (b) an equivalent amount of cash based on the trading price of a Class A Share on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date of the redemption.

The NFI LLC Units were previously held directly by New Fortress Energy Holdings LLC ("NFEH"). As of June 3, 2020, NFEH was majority owned and controlled by Fortress Equity Partners (A) LP (the "Fortress Shareholder"), of which the Reporting Person is a limited partner. Fortress Shareholder has adopted a plan of liquidation and on June 3, 2020 Fortress Shareholder distributed common units of NFEH to its limited partners, including the Reporting Person, in a pro rata distribution. Following the distribution by the Fortress Shareholder and also on June 3, 2020, NFEH distributed the NFI LLC Units, together with an equal number of Class B Shares, to its members, including the Reporting Person, in a pro rata distribution (the "Pro Rata Distributions").

 

On June 3, 2020, the Reporting Person entered into a mutual agreement (the "Mutual Agreement") with the Issuer, Fortress Equity Partners GP, LLC ("FEP GP"), WRE Trust ("WRE Trust"), FEP HoldCo LLC ("HoldCo"), Wesley R. Edens, NFE SMRS Holdings LLC (collectively, with the Reporting Person, FEP GP, WRE Trust, HoldCo, and Wesley R. Edens, the "Exchanging Members") and NFE Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("NFE Sub"). Pursuant to the Mutual Agreement, each of the Exchanging Members agreed that they will deliver a block redemption notice in accordance with Section 4.6(b)(ii)(B) of the NFI LLCA with respect to all of the NFI LLC Units, together with an equal number of Class B Shares that they indirectly own as members of NFEH or indirectly as limited partners of Fortress Shareholder (the "Block Redemption Notice"). Pursuant to the Mutual Agreement, the Issuer has agreed that it will exercise the Call Right (as defined in the NFI LLCA), pursuant to which the Issuer will acquire such NFI LLC Units and such Class B Shares in exchange for Class A Shares to be issued to the Exchanging Members, including the Reporting Person (the "Exchange Transaction"). Pursuant to the Mutual Agreement, the Exchanging Members have also agreed with the Issuer to not, without the consent of the Reporting Person and Wesley R. Edens, transfer any of the Class A Shares they receive in the Exchange Transaction for 90 days following the date of the Exchange Transaction. FEP GP and/or other affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (together, "Fortress"), of which the Reporting Person is Principal, Co-Chief Executive Officer and a Class A Director, beneficially own 13,399,317 Class A Shares. While the Reporting Person may participate in Fortress's voting and investment decisions concerning its holdings of Class A Shares, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership thereof and the Reporting Person otherwise disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares held by the other Exchanging Members.

 

Item 4 to the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following text:

The information contained in Item 3 to this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.

(j)           NFE WE LLC and NFE RN LLC, entities controlled by the Reporting Person and Wesley R. Edens, were assigned NFEH's right to appoint five of the nine members to the board of directors of the Issuer, on the terms set forth in that certain Shareholder Agreement, by and between the Issuer and NFEH.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) — (b)          The aggregate number and percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person (on the basis of a total of 24,236,495 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2020, as disclosed on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer on May 6, 2020) are as follows:

 

Amount beneficially owned: 33,021,194

 

(c)          The information contained in Item 3 above is incorporated herein by reference. Except as described therein, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Class A Shares during the past 60 days.

(d)          The Reporting Person has the sole right to receive or direct the receipt of dividends on and the proceeds from the sale of the Class A Shares reported on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and in this Item 5, other than those Class A Shares beneficially owned by HoldCo. HoldCo is a limited liability company, the members of which have the right to receive or direct the receipt of dividends on and the proceeds from the sale of the Class A Shares beneficially owned by HoldCo. Except for the foregoing, no other person is known by the Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends on or the proceeds from the sale of the Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

(e)          Not applicable.
